DISCUSSION:
The Animal Care and Control Division has increased its animal shelter live release rate to an average of
61 percent, with July's rate an unprecedented 70 percent. This increase in the live release rate is possible
due to increased adoptions and rescued animals. PetSmart Charities sponsors Mega Pet Adoption Events
with their partners across the country. The "Shelter Pets Rock! North Texas Adoption Showcase" was held
September 15, 2012 and September16, 2012. Local municipal animal shelters and rescue groups
collaborated, with the City of Fort Worth as lead agency, to accomplish this shelter pet adoption event.
The event resulted in 358 pet adoptions and 184 were animals from Fort Worth's shelter.
Grant funds were authorized by PetSmart Charities to reimburse associated expenditures originally
charged to the existing Grants Fund accounts linked to pet adoption donation project funds. The purpose
of this Mayor and Council Communication is to accept this PetSmart Charities grant and authorize
reimbursement of expended funds.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
receipt of the grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the
current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
